NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country.

Are you an 18-29-year old who has voluntarily viewed p*rn in the last 6 months? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study on young adults’ opinions about p*rnography. Take this survey to see if you qualify!

In a big win for public health, the U.S. Supreme Court today refused to hear a tobacco industry challenge to graphic cigarette warnings required by the FDA. This leaves in place a ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld the warnings and found they do not violate the First Amendment.
Today’s decision is a giant step toward finally implementing graphic cigarette warnings in the U.S. These warnings were first required by Congress in 2009 and will promote public understanding of the many ways smoking harms the human body.
It’s time for the U.S. to catch up with the 138 countries and territories worldwide that already require graphic warnings.

Had a wonderful time at the 2024 Kentucky Conference on Health Communication catching up with many great colleagues and dear friends!
I also apparently perfected the “head tilt” during my presentation. Took years of practice lol.
Huge step forward on graphic cigarette warnings in the US 👇

Terrific meeting at FDA today discussing the challenges of digital campaign evaluation. Best part was spending time with @JacobRohde who interviewed me for an FDA video (after the make-up artist got me ready - that was a first).
